Strangely enough I just had a quick look on the Dell website and unless I am going mad it appears that Dell is selling the PE750 at 1/2 the price in New Zealand than they are in the US, which is absolutely bizzare. I get a PE750 with p4 3.0 and raid1 160gig sata for 2100NZD = 1400USD, but the same thing on the Dell US site prices up at 3000 USD ? WTF ?
